Adam LaRoche hit a grand slam and Brian McCann hit his second homer of the series to give the Braves a lead. But after Tim Hudson's stellar seven-plus innings, Kyle Farnsworth allowed a grand slam and a game-tying homer, and the Braves' season ultimately ended after 18 innings.

Chris Burke put an emphatic end to the longest playoff game in history, belting a homer in the 18th to send Houston to the NLCS. Lance Berkman clubbed a grand slam in the eighth and Brad Ausmus' shot in the ninth forced extras. Roger Clemens won with three shutout innings of relief.
